There were already more than three hundred thousand refugees gathered outside Fuzhou. Among them, there was no lack of wealthy families who came late and did not have the means to enter the city, so they had no choice but to stay outside the city. They were forced to accept the high prices offered by the grain merchants in the city. But even so, they felt that staying here was a bit more secure.
Fujian was really a barren land. The land was so barren that even if the weather was good, they could barely fill their stomachs. If they wanted to live a good life, the only way was to go out to sea. But after the Ming court banned the sea, even larger fishing boats were not allowed to go out to sea.
Other than some scholars who had studied and dreamed of becoming famous through the imperial examinations, the common people could only take the risk to do business on the sea. They traveled to Nanyang, Luzon, Ryukyu, and Japan. But this violated the laws of the court. There were more and more people who appeared to be good people but were actually bandits.
The Wokou pirates sweeping through the border of Min had already caused people to be on tenterhooks. Now, these local bandits were taking advantage of the paralysis of the government to loot and kidnap people everywhere, scaring these rich gentlemen and merchants into a state of panic. Now, they could only escape to the city of Fuzhou before they could sleep peacefully.
Who would have thought that the Fujian administrative envoy would not allow them to enter the city but was diligent in collecting taxes. Every day, he would send tax collectors out of the city to collect "wartime tax" from them. But he did not see his troops win a single battle. The common people secretly cursed him.
At this time, Fuzhou was still peaceful. Green willows lined the streets and cicadas sang quietly. Even though the land was not peaceful, the Wokou ran amok, and the common people were homeless and miserable, this street where the high officials and nobles gathered was still full of singing and dancing.
The rich and powerful who drove their carriages or sat in sedan chairs still shuttled through the red-light streets and willow alleys. Lazy soldiers hugged their spears and wandered back and forth around the administrative envoy's yamen. The common people did not dare to come close. Otherwise, they could hear the soft singing and music coming from behind the white walls.
Ruan Dawen sat behind a low table and raised a fine porcelain wine cup inlaid with gold. He happily sipped his wine. Amidst the singing and dancing, six beautiful, gorgeously dressed young girls were dancing in the hall.
The patrolling imperial envoy Zhai Qingshan was attracted by their beautiful dance. He stared for a while before coming to his senses. He hurriedly raised his wine cup to Ruan Dawen and smiled. "Official Ruan, please."
"Haha, Lord Zhai, Lord Zhou, Lord Wang, come, come, come, let's have a drink together." Ruan Dawen also happily raised his glass and urged them to drink. Ruan Dawen was in his early forties. He was tall and slender, with a jade-like face and three wisps of mustache under his chin.
Beside him, a beautiful woman was lying on his shoulder and whispering to him. Ruan Dawen had only drunk half a mouthful of wine when he spat it out. He was so happy that he was rocking back and forth.
He pinched the woman's perky buttocks, which were covered by the light silk gown, and said with a chuckle, "Go, go, Master still has to accompany the lords to drink to their heart's content."
The beautiful woman giggled, stood up gracefully, curtsied to Di Qingshan and the others, and quietly retreated. Ruan Dawen waved his hand, and the six singers immediately stopped dancing. They flicked their sleeves and retreated out of the hall.
"Gentlemen," Ruan Dawen said, "Our city of Fuzhou can be considered to have escaped this calamity, but the Wokou people are still causing chaos in our Fujian border. You and I, as the highest military and political officials in Fujian, must give an explanation to Governor-General Yang. We can't wait until they have robbed enough before we leave, can we? Does Zhou daren have a brilliant plan? "
Zhou Hong was the admiral of the Fujian Navy and the commander of the three armies. He was the military commander of the Fujian border, but he feared the Wokou like a tiger. As soon as the Wokou entered the Fujian border, he avoided battle everywhere and allowed the common people to suffer. He was afraid that he would really have to face the Wokou pirates. Ruan Dawen's brilliant plan of "sending ships and silver to buy stability" came from Zhou Lang.
Hearing Ruan Dawen ask about this, Zhou Hong frowned and slowly said, "Daren, right now the Wokou have already shown signs of moving to Guangdong and Guangxi. Furthermore, it has been difficult for them to establish a foothold from the north to the south. With the six warships we sent, they already have the intention of establishing a foothold in Yizhou or Manchuria. I believe that they will leave this place soon."
Ruan Dawen knew nothing about military affairs, so when he heard this, he relaxed. He sighed and said, "That's good. The six warships that just left the factory have been given to the Wokou, along with their cannons. The official document I sent to the governor-general's office says that our army has suffered great casualties and that all six warships have been destroyed. However, our army and the Wokou pirates have fought fiercely and have not retreated. If the Wokou pirates don't leave and keep sending battle reports to Suzhou, we will be exposed. "
Zhou Hong originally knew that the Wokou pirates were indeed planning to attack Yizhou and Manchuria and were trying to find a stable territory. But hearing Ruan Dawen speak so solemnly, his heart became uneasy.
Zhou Hong forced a smile and said, "Daren, don't worry. Fujian is a barren land. I don't think they have much to fight for. They can't establish a foothold in the north, so they will definitely continue to move south …"
Just as he said this, a shout came from outside the hall, "Reporting! Daren, Ruan San 'er has returned! "
Zhou Hong immediately stopped talking and looked towards the door with Ruan Dawen and the others. They saw two soldiers supporting a person dressed like a common person. The person was covered in dust and his face was flushed red. His temples were dripping with sweat and his legs were stiff.
Ruan Dawen saw that it was his trusted family general Ruan San 'er and quickly stood up. "Ruan San' er, why … why do you look like this? Did you encounter the Wokou pirates or … or Suzhou … "
Ruan San 'er steadied himself and freed himself from the support of the two bodyguards. He waved his hand for them to leave and waited until they had left the hall before rushing forward. He anxiously said, "Daren, from what I can see, the situation is not good. When I arrived at Suzhou nine days ago, I heard that the governor was personally coming to Fujian to inspect the military situation …"
Di Qingshan couldn't keep his cool. "How could that be? He is in charge of the military affairs of the six provinces. At this time, he isn't in command but has left Suzhou to inspect Minnan. Won't it be even more troublesome to send news of the war in the north to him? If we're talking about defeats … which place in the six provinces hasn't suffered defeats? Why is he so nervous about the war in Minnan? "
Ruan San 'er swallowed and said with difficulty, "Daren, at that time … at that time, our military situation had not yet been reported to the governor's yamen."
Ruan Dawen's expression changed greatly when he heard this. Zhou Hong also became afraid. Did this mean that Yang Ling had another source of information? Even if the news he received was that Fujian had suffered a great defeat, the subsequent reports sent by the Fujian military repeatedly stated that the Wokou had suffered heavy losses due to the stubborn resistance of the soldiers and civilians of Fujian. Now, the majority of the Wokou had retreated to the sea and continued to flee south. Yet Yang Ling hadn't sent a letter to ask for clarification before immediately heading south?
At this time, there were still many Wokou that had fallen behind in the northern provinces. This was a good opportunity to exterminate them. Why had Yang Ling rushed here in such a hurry? Could it be …
Zhou Hong's heart thumped when he thought of this. He waved his hand and said, "Daren understands. You can go and rest first." Coldly watching Ruan San 'er leave the hall, Zhou Hong immediately stood and walked to Ruan Dawen's desk. He anxiously said, "Daren, Yang Ling controls the inner factory and has a close relationship with the other two factories and one guard station. The guards are everywhere. Could it be … could it be that news of what we've done has been leaked?"
Hearing this, Ruan Dawen's face turned deathly white. He reached out and grabbed Zhou Hong's collar. In a trembling voice, he said, "How could it be? How could it be? Didn't you say that this matter was foolproof? You … you … if we had really defended the city, the Wokou might not have been able to take Fuzhou. But now … now if the matter of us aiding the enemy is found out by Governor Yang, this will be a … a great crime! "
Zhou Hong saw that Ruan Dawen looked like he was regretting his actions and felt some disdain in his heart. But right now, everyone was in the same boat and they couldn't turn against each other. He suppressed his anger and explained, "Daren, you've only been transferred here from Guangxi for half a year. How would you know the situation of the guards in Fujian? They're basically half officials and half bandits. How are they made for war? If a war really breaks out, within half a day, Fuzhou will fall to the Wokou and the people will be plunged into misery and suffering. We've put in a lot of effort to do this for the sake of the 300,000 people in the city. "
Ruan Dawen was so anxious that he was about to cry. He let go of Zhou Hong's collar and said miserably, "But how would Governor Yang understand my painstaking efforts to protect this place? Didn't you say that when he saw the military situation, he would at most reprimand us? What is he doing here? How would he know what's happening here? "
Di Qingshan's face was dark as he said, "We originally thought that Fuzhou was full of Wokou and that the guards were hiding among the people. It's hard to predict whether they'll survive alone. In such a dangerous environment, they would definitely have left this place long ago. But now it seems …"
He took a long breath and said, "Using 60,000 taels of silver from the treasury. At this time, if we do it secretly, it'll be easy to hide from the eyes and ears of others. But … these are six giant warships. They disappeared without a trace before the battle even started. If there are still guards hiding in the city, how could they not give themselves away?"
He stomped his foot heavily and cried out miserably, "Official Ruan, Official Zhou, Official Wang, these six warships aren't palm-sized toys. How could they hide from everyone's eyes and ears? Originally, even if the people below all knew, they wouldn't be able to turn the sky upside down. But if someone from above wanted to investigate, a single statement from a bailiff would be enough to take the heads of all four of us. "
Wang Feiling was the prefectural magistrate of Fuzhou. He was already in cahoots with Ruan Dawen, Di Qingshan, and the others to exploit the people. When he heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. Sweat beaded on his forehead and his face was ashen as he said, "What should we do? What should we do? Everyone, please think of a way. "
Zhou Hong's eyes turned and he said in thought, "Perhaps Yang Ling saw that the situation in the various provinces has improved, so he's at ease heading south? This matter has been done secretively enough. Are we making a mountain out of a molehill? Hahaha, don't tell me we're just scaring ourselves? "
Di Qingshan laughed coldly and said, "I also hope so. But what if Yang Ling really gets the news? Once the imperial envoy, governor, and minister enters the city of Fuzhou, we will … lose our heads! "
Ruan Dawen sat down and murmured, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, we can't avoid it. Now … let's resign ourselves to fate!"
Wang Feiling heard Di Qingshan's implied meaning and immediately asked, "Official Di, you said that if the imperial envoy enters the city of Fuzhou, we will be in danger of being killed. Could it be that Official Di has a way to prevent him from entering the city?"
Di Qingshan glanced at Ruan Dawen and Zhou Hong and said, "I'm just a patrolling imperial envoy. I want soldiers but I don't have power. When the imperial envoy goes out on patrol, he has at least three thousand armored horsemen. How can I stop him?" Zhou Hong looked at Di Qingshan and Wang Feiling's strange expressions and laughed bitterly, "I do have soldiers but so what? Do I want them to assassinate the imperial envoy? Who would agree? "
Di Qingshan said sinisterly, "Who said we're going to kill the imperial envoy? The Wokou pirates disguised themselves as peasants and attacked Quanzhou. Now we've received news that there's another group of defeated Wokou pirates from Jiangnan pretending to be Ming Destiny's army and trying to attack Fuzhou. So we'll set up an ambush halfway and ambush the Wokou pirates … "
Zhou Hong's body shook and he said in shock, "Will this plan work? As soon as the two sides start fighting, they'll immediately give themselves away. "
At this time, Wang Feiling couldn't help but become bold and said fiercely, "The Yue Shan Valley to the north of the city is a dangerous place. One man can hold the pass against ten thousand people. If we send a group of soldiers to set up an ambush there, set up a few cannons and pile up logs and stones, once the ambush is successful, the other side will lose half of their men and horses.
Heh heh, at that time, it'll be like riding on the back of a tiger. Even if the officers and generals discover the truth, they can only make the best of the mistake. Who would dare to hesitate? Can they still get away with it? "
Di Qingshan also became spirited and came forward to encourage, "Not far above the Yue Shan Valley is a large river. As soon as the cannons are heard, we can send people to break the dam and release the water. If they want to avoid the flood, they can only escape to the two mountain peaks on either side. Coincidentally, the ambush troops are on the mountain peaks. Maybe we don't even need to send a single soldier down the mountain to come into contact with them and we can wipe them all out!"
Hearing this, the muscles on Zhou Hong's face trembled. He thought about it and suddenly slapped his thigh. Gritting his teeth, he said, "It's a knife if we stick our head out, it's still a knife if we pull our head back. If we go all out, we might still have a chance. Daren, let's do it!"
Ruan Dawen slowly raised his head and looked at them in a daze. He stammered, "Kill … kill the Imperial Envoy? That's a crime worthy of nine familial extermination! "
The muscles on Zhou Hong's face tightened and he smiled malevolently, "Daren, we're using the Treasury's silver warships to lure the Wokou pirates. That's already a crime worthy of nine familial extermination. Do you think people will die twice? But if we succeed, we'll be able to escape death. Those soldiers who know about this won't dare to leak the news.
Furthermore, I can still move them to the battlefield and borrow the hands of the Wokou pirates to get rid of the hidden dangers. As for the Imperial Envoy … heh heh heh … if he meets the Wokou pirates on the road and dies for his country, we can even bestow his wife and children. We've done him justice. "
Ruan Dawen was out of ideas again. His gaze swept across the faces of the three people. Di Qingshan and the other two all had an ominous glint in their eyes. They had a murderous look on their faces. Ruan Dawen finally lowered his eyes and softly asked, "Then … who will go and ambush the Imperial … ambush the disguised 'Wokou pirates'? Zhou daren, you … "
If he were to really go and face the Imperial Envoy's army, how would Zhou Hong, who had always been afraid of battle and death, have the courage to do so? He hurriedly said, "Daren, I'm the admiral of the navy. Although I'm in charge of the land troops of the three armies, if I, the admiral of the navy, personally go out, it'll be hard not to be suspicious."
Ruan Dawen hesitated, "Then … who else can be used?"
Zhou Hong's eyes flashed and he coldly said, "General You Ji, He Bingwen. What does Daren think?"
"He …?" Ruan Dawen froze.
Zhou Hong said, "Yes! He Bingwen leads his troops well. His troops are the strongest in the Fu Zhou garrison. I've heard that he was originally a general in the northern army. During the battle of Chicken Cry Inn, he took the blame for the black calamity and was demoted to Guangxi to become a small official. It was Daren who recognized talent and promoted him. When you moved to Fujian, you also brought him along. He should be your trusted aide, right? "
Ruan Dawen stroked his beard and said, "Er … this person has always been a man of few words and careful with his words. I discovered that he is a talented general, so I brought him along."
In reality, Ruan Dawen naturally did not have that kind of foresight. After General He was demoted to Guangxi, he became a small official in Nandanzhou. Once, when Ruan Dawen was patrolling this area, the noble horse he was riding was startled by a hunter's dog. It broke free from the coachman and ran away madly. It was General He who stopped the startled horse and saved him. Ruan Dawen then promoted him to the administrative office and made him a garrison.
Later, Ruan Dawen saw that He Bingwen was good at leading troops and had a steady personality. He was a talent that could be used, so he gradually promoted him. When he arrived in Fujian, because there was no commander there and he was also responsible for military affairs, he lacked someone by his side who understood military affairs. Thus, he brought He Bingwen, who was now the Fu Zhou You Ji General.
It seems that after he was arrested and brought to the capital, all the officials tried to shirk responsibility and everyone wanted him dead. In the end, it was the Former Emperor who showed mercy and pardoned his death sentence and demoted him to Guangxi. If this was the case, he would definitely not have a good impression of the officials in the capital. Furthermore, he was someone that Daren brought out, so he should be someone we can rely on. Besides, now that the matter has been settled, it will be impossible for him to leave our ship even if he wants to. "
"His 5,000 troops are currently the most elite troops in Fu Zhou. Only by sending him will there be a chance of success. If Daren is worried about his character, I can send a few trusted aides to monitor him and immediately kill him if he makes any strange movements!"
"… Okay!" Ruan Dawen finally made up his mind. He suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up. With a cold gaze, he said, "You are heartless, so don't blame me for being unjust! Sir Yang, I have been forced to do this by you! "
He took a few deep breaths and then shouted, "Someone, immediately summon You Ji General He Bingwen to see me!"

The majestic imperial envoy troop followed the rugged and difficult mountain road southward, their banners blocking out the sun. At the front, a thousand soldiers wearing armor and holding red-tasseled spears led the way. In the middle, a thousand soldiers with podaos and shields, archers, and musketeers surrounded the imperial envoy's honor guard. The soldiers at the back also had their sabers and spears like a forest, their banners fluttering.
However, this group of officials and soldiers had a white ribbon wrapped around their heads. Even Yang Ling, General Xiao Hengjiang, and City Secretary Luo Yi who were riding in the middle were no exception. When the army reached Lishui, Yang Ling finally received accurate news of the situation on the battlefield in Fujian. A group of a thousand soldiers he had sent had encountered a large group of Wokou pirates. That group of Wokou pirates was Miyamoto Hiroshi's people. They had three cannons they had seized from the Ming army and had extraordinary battle power.
This group of a thousand soldiers was outnumbered and struggled to hold on. The Fujian Navy responsible for intercepting them from behind and the Wei Institute's imperial army attacking from both sides did not arrive at the location of the encirclement because of the mountain flash flood after the rain. As a result, Yang Ling's group of a thousand soldiers fought alone. One thousand one hundred and twenty-five people all died on the battlefield without a single survivor.
When Yang Ling heard this news, he was no longer angry. He held the secret report sent by the inner factory fanzi and wept for a while. Gritting his teeth, he tore off a corner of his robe and tied it around his forehead. He then ordered the army to immediately depart and speed toward Fu Zhou.
The grievous news quietly spread through the army. At some point, the soldiers had all learned from the governor. Each of them wore a white ribbon on their heads. The entire army wore plain mourning mourning as they marched.
Taishun County Magistrate Wang He came to greet the imperial envoy. Seeing this cold and murderous atmosphere, he did not know what had happened in the army. He hurriedly went to the middle of the army to greet Yang Ling and then led the army to Taishun County Town.
Taishun was a small county, located on the border between Zhejiang and Fujian. Soldiers often passed by here, but they had never seen such an important person. In front of Yang Ling, Wang He was only a welcoming character, so he did not dare to spread the news of the imperial envoy's arrival. So the common people on the streets continued to come and go as usual. No one was surprised to see them.
When Yang Ling saw this, he was very satisfied. When he passed by Qingtian, that County Magistrate made a big fuss. Three groups of bailiffs were all mobilized. He also mobilized the strong people from the surrounding villages. The procession stretched for three li. The main streets of the county town were all under martial law. All that was missing was yellow soil paving the roads and clean water splashing the streets.
In reality, although the imperial envoy was patrolling on behalf of the Son of Heaven, there was still a difference in etiquette. That Qingtian County Magistrate's welcome was already somewhat out of line. This caused Yang Ling to be furious and reprimanded him on the spot. Now that this County Magistrate Wang was considerate of the people's feelings and did not flatter or flatter him, he actually had a good impression of him.
Yang Ling did not expect that this County Magistrate Wang, in order to leave a good impression on the imperial envoy, had actually sent people early on to the various counties along the way. He had inquired about Yang Ling's temperament and temperament before making such arrangements. In order to figure out his superior's intentions, it could be said that he had expended a great deal of effort.
As the guards of honor turned the corner, the army in front of them had already passed through the government office. Just then, Yang Ling saw a woman in ragged clothes running wildly in an alley with a child. But they couldn't outrun a few men who were chasing after them. She was kicked to the ground by one of the men who was the fastest. Then, a few men came forward and started punching and kicking her. The woman lay on the ground with her head in her hands. The child beside her was crying, but he was slapped to the ground.
Yang Ling's mood was not good to begin with. Seeing this scene, he could not help but frown in disgust. He immediately pulled the reins. His bodyguards understood his superior's meaning and immediately rushed over with four soldiers. Not long after, they brought the people over.
Just now, he was far away and did not clearly hear the contents of the child's crying. Now that he was closer, although he still could not understand what he was saying, Yang Ling could tell that it was not the local dialect, but Japanese. He could not help but be surprised and asked, "Who are you people? Why are you beating them?"
When the villagers saw that it was a general riding on a tall horse with so many soldiers around him, their faces changed in fright. One of the villagers stuttered and said, "General, this woman … this woman pretended to be mute and begged for food. We pitied her, so we gave her some food.
Later, we heard her talking to the child. Motherf * cker … uh … she turned out to be a Japanese. These cruel and unscrupulous people have harmed so many people, so we … "
At this point, he was so angry that his face turned red. Yang Ling looked at the woman and child. Their faces were emaciated, and they were thin and weak. They still looked pretty, but their faces were covered in mud, and they had been beaten black and blue. They stood there looking at him with a pair of frightened eyes.
Yang Ling had a messenger in his army. He called over a Japanese woman and asked her questions. Although the woman was afraid, when she heard the messenger speak in her native language, her courage grew. She trembled and told him about her situation.
It turned out that she was a family member of Naomi Masaichi's group of Wokou pirates. This time, because the Wokou pirates were unable to gain a foothold in Japan, they brought their family members with them. The number of family members living on the island was double the total number of Wokou pirates. After Naomi Masaichi's group of Japanese pirates was annihilated, these women and children tried to rely on other Japanese pirates. But now that the Japanese pirates were at a disadvantage, their food reserves were limited. Unless they could go to war, they didn't want any of them. They were always lecherous, and even those women who had some beauty were driven away from the island.
From this woman, Yang Ling learned that the families of the pirates who used small boats and simple rafts to return to Japan could only drift downstream to the mainland in order to not starve to death. Some of them drowned in the sea. Those who were lucky enough to make it ashore had the same appearance as the Han Chinese. There were many coastal refugees, so they mixed in and pretended to be deaf and mute. Although they were often recognized and beaten, there were still a few times when they succeeded in getting some food.
Now, more and more Japanese pirates like Naomi Masaichi and Donghua Luzuke were wiped out. The number of family members of the pirates who were forced to go ashore to beg for food also increased. Almost all of the coastal cities had these family members of the pirates wandering around.
Yang Ling's factory guards obviously didn't pay much attention to these people. If Yang Ling hadn't accidentally seen this scene, he wouldn't have known about this situation. Yang Ling looked at the frail young woman and her child. He thought of his troops who died on the battlefield. He thought of the inhumane crimes committed by the Japanese pirates along the way. He couldn't tell if it was hatred or some other emotion.
He glanced at the woman who was holding onto her child. Her wrist was covered in bruises. He sighed and said, "The Japanese are cruel and evil. Even if they die a hundred times, they won't be able to atone for their crimes. But from what she said, I'm afraid that there are tens of thousands of Japanese survivors wandering around our six provinces.
We Han Chinese are not Tartars, nor are we Japanese pirates. We can't use inhumane methods to slaughter people. But these old, weak, women, and children can't be allowed to roam around like this. Once the common people kill people, the customs of the people will be affected. "
The horse's hooves tapped on the ground. Yang Ling thought for a while. Then he looked at the mother and child. They seemed to feel that Yang Ling was someone who could decide their life and death. When Yang Ling looked at them again, the young woman suddenly pulled her child and knelt down. She kowtowed to Yang Ling.
She didn't know how to speak Chinese, but the pleading in her eyes was very clear. Yang Ling shook his head and said, "Clerk, in the name of the Governor's office, order the six provinces to quickly send a message to all the prefectures, counties, and villages. From now on, if they find any family members of the Japanese pirates, they must immediately be sent to the government.
The government must register them and manage them. They must not be allowed to roam around. These people … must be forced into laziness and will never be able to study. Women and children will be sold as slaves. Their capital will be used as soldiers' pay. All adult men will be sent to the northwest to raise horses and herd sheep. "
"Yes!" The clerk immediately took out a brush and ink. He hurriedly wrote it down and handed it to Yang Ling. Then he ordered the courier to quickly send it back to the Governor's office. The mother and son were immediately sent to the county yamen by Wang He, who was quick to change direction. They were taken in first.
Yang Ling looked at their backs and suddenly felt a little confused. "Once we open this door, will the slave trade become popular? But if we don't do this, how can we deal with this matter? "
He remembered that along the southeast coast, there had long been pirates who had kidnapped Han people and sold them to Japan and Southeast Asia as slaves. The rich and powerful families of the Great Ming Dynasty had also privately bought and sold slaves from foreign countries. For example, that Adni in his mansion. Presumably, many of the aristocratic families of Jiangnan had similar foreign beauties. How could he be the initiator?
Yang Ling tried hard to convince himself and dispel the faint sense of guilt in his heart. But he knew clearly that it was a shadowy deal in the past. It was the behavior of the underground kingdom. Today, although he saved many people's lives, he also allowed a kind of behavior to happen.
Sometimes, it was difficult to simply define whether a thought or a behavior was good or evil. It often brought about two kinds of consequences that were intertwined.
He shook his head and asked Wang He, "Magistrate Wang, how many days before the army can reach Fuzhou?"
Wang He hurriedly said, "Sir, through the ancient road, they can reach the boundary of Fuzhou in about six days."
Yang Ling nodded. He reined in his horse and looked in the direction that Wang He pointed. He thought, "Don't think so much. How can there be so much reason? I am going to Fuzhou to kill people. But if I don't kill people, it will be intolerable. Who can explain it? "
